J-Ro:
Rivette's 760-minute, 16-millimeter serial Out 1 (1971) was rejected by French state TV, and he spent most of a year editing it down to a 255-minute version to show in theaters, Out 1: Spectre (1972). Less a digest than a perverse variant -- some shots were rearranged so that they had radically different meanings and contexts, and much of the comedy was turned into psychodrama -- it's the only version that's ever shown in the U.S., though it hasn't been screened for years. The original -- almost certainly the best film ever made by anyone about the 60s counterculture and its demise -- still shows periodically in Europe.
so now i have to see the motherfucker.
Will you get to see Jean Pierre Leaud have a breakdown? Or was that footage destroyed? I seem to remember Jonathan Rosenbaum going on at length about this. -- Dayglo Redd ([email protected]), March 9th, 2006.maybe that accounts for the 17 minutes' discrepancy!

a lot of films were made about the '60s counterculture, and it's definitely my bag, and the best one would be quite something. but ye gods!
